Fjord in parade
This message is from: Frederick J Pack [EMAIL PROTECTED] See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XygmjXYvOV4 Our mare Joline pulling a cart in our Wilkeson (Washington) Days parade 21Jul07. Canons, souped up lawnmowers and tractors, giant vehicles, police cars and fire engines with sirens going, and screaming kids didn't phase her. The only thing that got her attention was when a Jenny decided to bray next to her. The look on her face is pricelessWhat in the heck is that???) Vindication AGAIN for my mare and trainer. Joline was driven by our trainer, Bonnie Morris of Shadow Mountain Stables and her intern. I followed in a golf cart to take pix and clean up any leftovers from the roadway. What say you Libby 2006 nay-sayers??? Eat your words. Apologies anyone?? My You Tube ID is Fjordlover. There is a great video of our two new pups rough-housing there too.

Re: trails west horse trailers
This message is from: Eric Kozowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tamarack Lamb Wool wrote: This message is from: Tamarack Lamb Wool [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi folks, I'm looking at a trails west trailer, which is a steel trailer but the steel is galvanized, and painted with the auto paint process so presumedly resists rust (I would assume about as good as a car does). Steel is quite a bit cheaper than aluminum so I can buy more features for the dollar, but of course eventually have to face the rust issue. I hope to have this trailer for 15 years (using it for mostly local trips about 3 times a month and several cross country trips per year). Trails West would be my first choice in steel trailers. They're popular around here and they seem well built. I was wondering if any fjord folks have any experience with the trails west brand? what are your thoughts on the galvanized steel vs aluminum? I would have to buy a used aluminum trailer to be able to fit into my budget. If you shop around and are patient, you can find a decent used aluminum trailer. Also, what stall width do you prefer for the draftier fjords? Our Fjord fits just fine in the standard stalls in our Silverlite trailer. If anything, they're a bit too wide (and the TB thinks they're too small). -- Eric Kozowski Joseph, OR The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Re: Boarding Issues - Dieting Fjords
This message is from: kelly MacDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes Melinda, I would add electric to boards as well. In fact, especially board fencing. If a horse was to lean hard enough to break the boards you could be looking at a pretty dangerous situation. Also, even if the Fjords aren't leaning for food, if they are scratching or rubbing, the fence boards could break and pop off. Often too, nails become loose and exposed. Just my humble opinion.

RE: Boarding Issues - Dieting Fjords
This message is from: Gail Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Often too, nails become loose and exposed. We try to through-bolt our fences, or use big screws that are unlikely to come out and would be unlikely to puncture a hoof if they did come out.

They are great. Very easy to put on, the comfort pads provide lots of cushioning and keep him happy. No problem with foot growth between trims, the boots accommodate tons of size variation. Since we've been using them he's had no abscesses or bruises at all and we ride quite alot of rocky trails and hard gravel. Jane in Maine Also, I am considering putting shoes on him, but really hate metal shoes, and he has been barefoot all his life. I've considered the Old Mac boots for rides, but the hoof has to be trimmed just right, doesn't it? And Einar's hoofs grow really fast. He seems to need trims about every 4 weeks.

Utah Fjords
This message is from: Susan Cargill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lisa Pederson mentioned that she and Jeff have acquired Snow Flyer and Silver Flyer (both from FC Gwendellin and Smedsmo Graen). With seven new possibilities (foals) this spring it became evident that we needed to reduce the herd a bit. Snow Flyer is a beautiful young lady who will mature into a very,very nice mare. Silver Flyer will have the opportunity to develop into a promising stud. Only time will tell, Lisa and Jeff will give him that time. Its always difficult for me to part with one of my fjords but I know that they will have the best of care and excellent training. The Pederson's also acquired Anvil's Rethel - who was one of our wheelers. They already own his full sister Sunn. Ret is a wonderful horse, very intelligent and has many excellent skills. Its always a wonderful feeling when one of our fjords goes to friends - it still seems like they are still part of the family.

Fw: Pony World's Championship
This message is from: jerrell friz [EMAIL PROTECTED] This came from Bill Allen on the CDL, Bill gave me permission to cross post. I find it very interesting, wish I could have been there. Jerry Friz, Anderson, Ca. Subject: Pony World's Championship We just got back from the Pony World's in Denmark, and I couldn't resist: - a gallon of gasoline in Denmark: $7.00 - a double cheeseburger with fries:$10.00 - seeing the US Pony Team stand on the podium to receive the bronze medal: PRICELESS What a trip! Here were some of the highlights for us, in no particular order: - Fantastic weather all week, until Sunday when it poured all day. But we still got the car out of the parking lot. - Shelly and Tracey each getting a 2nd place ribbon for dressage. - Randy winning the marathon and the individual pairs gold medal. You should have seen the face of the 2nd place guy from Germany (Steffen Abicht). He was 0.7 points behind Randy and was NOT happy about it. - Lisa Stroud having the show of a lifetime. Her best performance EVER, including a double-clear round and a 2nd place ribbon in cones. She was so surprised and very happy. - Standing in the midst of the US supporters cheering the bronze medal team winners. We were as loud as the Germans and Dutch, and that's saying something. The US team was the only one of the 9 full teams that is all-female. - Getting to meet Di Hayes in person (the British woman who drove a Hackney Horse to the only double-clear round in cones at the World's Singles Championship in Rome last year). Very nice lady. - Helping Phil Needs and Eric the Farrier cook ribs for the Nation's Night party. Nothing more American than Danish baby back ribs! They were a big hit! - Seeing Claudia DeLorme (Suzy's navigator) make it back to the show, after being treated in the hospital for cracked ribs. - Realizing that Laurie Astegiano, an experienced fours driver, holds dual citizenship and could have driven for either the French or US team. She wisely chose the US team. - The 3 Shetland fours, two of which were cute but silly, and one of which was cute and kicked major butt (Aart van de Kamp, Jr., from the Netherlands -- finishing 2nd, 1.7 points behind fellow Dutchman Jan de Boer). - A totally cool four of Fjords, who I think finished 3rd. - Danish bread and pastries. - Hanging out at the US camp all week. Plenty of drama, tension, beer, diet Coke, and hugs and support for all the drivers, navigators, and grooms. bill glad to be back home in Windsor, SC Driving is fun because...
